Default I see you!!! / The Phorographer's Eye

Photographer's Eye
Half blind from one too many sunrises/sunsets. Bloodshot from too many late hours in front of the computer. Always trying to capture the wonders it has seen. Striving for those perfect pictures that make you forget about the rest of the world even if it is only for a moment.

This is my submission for the fragility assignment as well as Day 1 on the threesixtyfive group so any suggestions on how to improve it would be greatly appreciated. I have another version with a cross processed kinda look but I decided on this one because you can see the camera reflection in the pupil. The cross processed look has some nice color but you lose the camera reflection

The white spots/relections do not do this eyeball any justice.

I have another version where I covered up the window so there is no reflection but the lamp (white spot) is my primary light source so I am not too sure what I can do about that other than to clone it out. I thought catchlights were good in the eye to add more life into it.

I agree...when are catchlights bad for photos of eyes?...the eye is alive
the light gives it roundness.

I like to see into eyes and see what they reflect.
